Makerfabs CM0IQ – An ultra-compact (42x36mm) Raspberry Pi CM0 Lite board

The CM0IQ is an ultra-compact board based on the Raspberry Pi CM0 Lite Compute Module. It measures just 42 × 36 mm and squeezes multiple interfaces into a 15.1 cm² footprint, making it suitable for space-constrained applications such as robotics, IoT devices, and custom hardware integrations. Despite being smaller than a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W (19.5 cm²), the CM0IQ manages to include a full-sized USB-A port, a Micro HDMI port, and 4-lane MIPI CSI and DSI connectors. To fit everything into this small footprint, the designer also relied on a 1.27 mm 40-pin GPIO header rather than the standard 2.54 mm header. The board also features a USB Type-C for power, a microSD card slot for storage, 5V solder pads for power input, and four M2 mounting threads.
